LEMON HERB MARINADE

Lemon Herb Marinade image

This easy Lemon Herb Marinade can be whipped up in 10 minutes. Zesty herbs and simple ingredients work together to elevate chicken, fish or pork. Feel free to switch up the herbs you use in this Lemon Herb Marinade. For example, for a lemon-rosemary marinade, consider substituting parsley for the basil and rosemary for the thyme. A good rule of thumb when mixing up marinades is, for fish, chicken and pork, light herbal notes tend to work well. This lemon and herb marinade is not to be missed.

LEMON MARINADE (CHICKEN)

Lemon Marinade (Chicken) image

Another good recipe from local news chef, Chef Walter. A nice change from the usual lemon pepper marinade on store shelves. This recipe is enough for 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts. Prep time is marinade time. Note: feel free to cut back or eliminate the salt in this marinade. Low-sodium soy sauce also works well for this. (Thanks for the tip, Nif!)

FRESH HERB & LEMON MARINADE

Fresh Herb & Lemon Marinade image

Yet another marinade recipe I got from an old issue of Food & Wine. I love this one with chicken and fish. Don't marinate fish too long in this, though - the acid from the lemon juice will start to "cook" it. No more than an hour or so. This marinade is especially nice in the summer when fresh herbs are so abundant.
